NEW PAGE

Theres a new page here for music!
some old youtube videos of horrific things i did throughout high school as well as a player for my bandcamp which is also currently shit but hopefully will have good things coming soon.
the concept sketches for Trek Montgomery are coming along, but will take a brief back seat so i can crank out something for Robot Day

sup bitches

after what some would call a good first try and others would call "My brain hurts and my soul too...What is this? Seriously what the hell have you ingested before thinking 'Oh yeah i can upload this on Newgrounds it's good!' Christ I hope to never again stumble on this page, even loading it will be a utter waste of time, bandwidth and life." and still others would go on to say "This would have been cool in the 90's" which to me sounded like a complement at first but wasn't.
anyways, after a bunch of talentless assholes typed a bunch of mean words at me I continued work.
my next project is a little larger in scope and hopefully a little simpler in code. i'm attempting to make a Point and Click Adventure game. i'm gonna try and not rip anyone off
to ensure quality my good friend Carlos will be penning the scripts, i will have a few voice actors and possibly more artists than myself. i'm also looking to do some quick event jawns but try to not rip off anyone else

so i'll update this place with stuff about that i guess. also i will make something for robot day....

Suns out Guns out

Last Day

so i know this is now technically Saturday and i should have posted already but i watched Dance of the Dead, House of the Dead, and Insanitorium. Only one of them was good, take a guess.

Anyway today was my last day interning at Newgrounds. very sad to leave. but hey, i can visit them any time. So i managed to wrap up most of the game. I think programming its 99& done, just some final adjustments but i don't think i'll add any mechanics. then i'll work on more buildings to destroy so that should be up some time next week.

i brought in muffins for the gang but Jose, Rob, Josh and Mike had taken the day off and Stamper left when i got in. Sucks for them, my mom's muffins rule. We went out to lunch at Kitchen Bar. I tried to explain my goofy Quaker school graduation to them. Its weird because I never think about it anymore but its so different than anywhere else. we got on the topic of Disney World which Jeff says sucks and told us about how as a kid he accidentally grabbed a cockroach there and it ruined him for life. He argues for universal as more fun. Bob figures both are fine. We talked a lot about amusement parks that allow you to frighten or attack children. Tom mentioned someplace where you can shoot balls at kids and Tim mentioned the scuba tanks in Disney where you can freak out the kids eating by them.

Tim and Tom went to get their pictures taken so Tyler, Luis and I had to cram in the backseat with Bob driving and Jeff comfortably in shotgun. Bob had told us this ridiculous story about this dude and then Luis told us a really funny story about the same dude which i'm afraid to type in case of the person it was about ever finds this. But it sent Bob into a hilarious fit about wondering if gout is like herpes and how so many people have herpes simplex one and fearing that one day he will have both. Jeff also told a funny story about the same dude playing Red Dead Redemption and leaving to buy a new mic. And then Jeff throwing dynamite at him when he got back. I wanna make that a cartoon cause its fucking hilarious.

anyway, my time at NG has been eye opening. its amazing how much about the site i was able to learn. so for everyone who thinks they are slackers and that NG has lost it, those dudes work hard. Theres no place else to go but up for them and theres a lot of good stuff coming down the line so hold on to your butts as Samuel L Jackson in Jurassic Park would say.

Shove that all up in your ass

so the game is practically done. just some tweaks and then i think next week i'll be adding more buildings if i can muscle through that

i might be doing something with other intern Tyler for Robot Day. trying to think of something different to do with robots that isn't fighting or dancing or being japanese. hope that actually happens but with the whole graduating thing i dunno if theres time.

So we went to Old Man Al's Burgers n Shit for lunch. My food came out after everyone finished eating which made Jeff happy cause hes usually the one to get his order screwed up. it was a good burger though. bacon with potato bread buns. anyway we got on the topic of the NG Voicemail and how funny that cartoon by Stamper is. For those of you who didn't realize, Tom doesn't listen to those. On occasion the staff listens for a good laugh. Then i was told a story about an email Stamper sent to their 401k manager unbeknownst to Stampy that he was an actual person they knew not some kind of spammer. It ended with the best insult of "PS: I hope you die in a car fire. With your family." just think about that.

oh yeah, we were talking about this because Tom heard about how many kids die cause their parents leave them in the car and forget.

speaking of forgetting i don't remember what else i was gonna write about. probably something about Bob's awesome BBQ party and Saturday's Stanley Cup game.

Chocolate Frosty Hump Day

BAH TWO DAYS LEFT WTF

so game: playable, theres ammo, sound effects, music, artwork about 93ish% done. just gotta work out some kinks in the obstacle hit senors. i'm also gonna mess around and try to give it a more mob feel by having people run out in front of the player. this will make it so the player has to re-learn how to jump over every obstacle. since each character has its own jump height and place each jump will be different. right now it seems to be less skill and more waiting till you get the best jumpers, and even the then the cop car is too long to jump for the 4 to 6 person. i picked Gekkotech as the song.

Tom asked me if newgrounds was old. i mean its way old in internet years. a lot of kids i know, know about it and have played games but honestly i don't know much about how other highschool kids play internet games. how do they find them? i mean plenty of kids are content to Google games and play whatever Viacom has listed at the top. newgrounds' frontpage just allows for good content to be found faster.
flash games seem to still only be time killers. i don't know a ton of people who grind through long flash games. even stuff like Edmund's stuff people have a tough time wanting to muscle through. i think that the viral aspect of NG has just kinda slowed. i dunno though.

in other news Mike has Super Mario Galaxy 2 and loves it. Bob is patiently waiting for Chik-fil-a's new spicy chicken sandwich as is Josh who has the ticket to get a free one. Tom and Jeff's game gets constantly more ridiculous (sandwich building mini-game). and I haven't seen Stamper recently....

Lonely Tuesday

So Tyler wasn't in and Tom left to talk to some big wigs downtown about some Cloud Game stuff. Its hard out there for an indie dev.
So I was left alone for most of the day hard at work on the awful looking run cycles. please do not look at them too hard cause they are weird and i got so bored doing them. but the art is mostly done and the coding just has some loose ends to tighten and tie.

i spent lunch with Bob and Tim who i also watched the FLYERS WIN THE CONFERENCE SHIP!!! WOOO FUCK YEAH RICHARDS AND CARTER AND LAPE! Anywho, Tim asked me about didgeridoo (correct spelling BTW) because apparently Dan Paladin's concept for "Game 3" was going to be Australian themed and be called Didgeridudes but Tim argued that that was the worst name ever and was impossible to spell if looking for it online. Bob argued Hominid was also strange. regardless BBT looks like a lot of fun and apparently we have the level editor, hush hush, whisper, maybe design a level whisper squeeeeeal :3

anyway i got to spend some of Bobs money, sorry i didn't finish all that pizza Bob but it was way to hot for that much buffalo chicken. i promise i'll bring a surprise on my last day

PS check out my blogs new art page. i'm using cooliris which i saw on Comlock's blog
